The advertising tale always tells the
same story. Judging from their hdvcr.

10 be doing.
In the midst Of all this self assertion
Of goodness toward mankind, how Is tho
intelligent man and woman 10 know
where he or she really can get the most
for his money! Why, by using his own
judgment instead Of relying upon the
nlluring words Of the advertiser.
The competition among manufacturer

well when, IN reality, they are unscrVice-
able, unsatisfactory aud really dear al any

Suicide without apparent Cause.

Special 10 the Gazette.
HARRISBURG, TEX, Nov. 90-At
O'Clock this evening the sharp report Of q
pistol rang out from room in the board
pg house of Mr. George Hamilton, and
an immediate investigation disclosed the
fact that John Ferguson had shot himself
in the right side of the head with
q pistol, the ball penetrating
to the brain and causing almost instant
death. The Coroner was sent for at
once and upon investigating the matter
as fully as possible, rendered verdict of
death by his own hand from the eff cts
of q gun-shot wound. Mr.. Ferguson
for sometime past had been working in
the Southern Pacific shops at this point
and was we'll liked by all with whom he
came in contact. There is no known
cause for his rash act, as he had steady
position and was generally in good heslfh,
though of Is he has been little sick.
A search OF his effects did nothing to
show motive for his self destru ton,
and his reason, therefore, is shrouded in
mystery.

Special TO the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Nov. 30.-The
Southern Pacific Railway Company has
announced its in'ention of to-day putting
into effect revised tariff schedule, which
will work serious detriment to the whole
sale trade OF San Antonio and likewise be
Of great advantage to the wholesale mer-
chants Of Galveston, New ORLEANS and
other distributing centers having connec-
tion with the road. Heretofore San An
tonic has had monopoly of the great
bulk Of trade west of the city through q
favorable local rate given by the
Southern Pacific, but under the
new order of things nearly
ali this trade is liable to be diverted from
this city by q reduction Of through rstes.
A meeting OF wholesale merchants was
neld this evening TO protest against this
ontemplsted action, and a resolution
was adopted pledging TO give the Sou h
ern Pacific Company the bulk of San An
toDio's freight business if the company
will reconsider its contemplated change
of rates so as to permit this city to hold
re western trade. The resolution was
forwarded to the Southern Pacific Of
fcials at Houston ar d New Orleans.
